CIVIL ENGINEERING

Civil Engineering is primarily con-cerned with the public domain. Theprofession includes analysis, planning,design, construction, and maintenanceof many types of facilities for govern-ment, commerce, and industry. Theseinclude high-rise office towers, facto-ries, schools, airports, tunnels and sub-way systems, dams, canals, and waterpurification and environmental protec-tion facilities such as solid waste andwastewater treatment systems. Civilengineers are concerned with the im-pact of their projects on the public andthe environment, and they attempt tocoordinate the needs of society withtechnical and economic feasibility.

Career opportunities in the field.University graduates with the B.S.E.degree in Civil Engineering readily findemployment. Civil engineers work inmany different types of companies,from large corporations to small, pri-vate consulting firms, or in governmen-tal agencies. A civil engineering back-ground is an excellent foundation forjobs in management and public service.Civil engineering is one of the best en-gineering professions from the view-point of international travel opportuni-ties or for eventually establishing one’sown consulting business.

Uniqueness of the program at ASU.The faculty in the Department of Civiland Environmental Engineering at ASUoffer a challenging program of studydesigned to provide the student with theresources and background to pursue acareer in a wide range of specialty ar-eas. Some of these areas are structural,geotechnical, environmental and waterresources, transportation and materialsengineering. The Civil Engineeringprogram is fully accredited by ABET.With the program, students will be pre-pared for the Fundamentals of Engi-neering (FE) examination and profes-sional registration.

The Department of Civil and Envi-ronmental Engineering offers challeng-ing programs of study designed to pro-vide students with the scientific andtechnical resources to pursue a broadand multifaceted range of careers. Ar-eas of study in the civil engineeringcurriculum are described below.Geotechnical engineering. This area ofstudy includes the analysis and designof foundation systems, seepage control,earthdams and water resource struc-tures, earthwork operations, fluid flow-through porous media, and response offoundations and embankments to earth-quakes.Structural engineering. This area ofstudy considers the planning, analysisand design of steel and concretebridges, buildings, dams; special off-shore and space structures; compositematerials.Transportation and materials engineer-ing. This area of study is pursued intwo major areas and several interrelatedareas: (1) transportation planning,design, and operation, and (2) pave-ments and materials. Transportationplanning, design, and operation empha-sizes the highway mode but also en-compasses public transit and airportplanning and design. Urban transportplanning, geometric design of facilities,traffic operations, and evaluation ofhighway capacity and safety are also apart of transportation planning. Theapplication of advanced technology tothe vehicle and the roadway is includedin the study of intelligent vehicle/highway systems. Pavements andmaterials focus on pavement analysisand design; pavement maintenance andrehabilitation; pavement evaluation and

management; and characterization ofhighway materials such as asphalt,concrete, portland cement, and portlandcement concrete; durability of highwaystructures; and structural retrofit ofexisting bridges.Water resources engineering. Thisarea of study is concerned with surfaceand groundwater flow, planning andmanagement of water supply, and waterdistribution system modeling.

The undergraduate program providesan excellent background for entry tograduate study in engineering.

Environmental EngineeringOption

The environmental engineering op-tion has been developed and recentlyimplemented at ASU. Environmentalengineering is a multidisciplinary fieldbased on the traditional engineeringprinciples, and chemistry, biology, andgeology. Environmental engineers areinvolved with the design and operationof water and wastewater treatment sys-tems, remediation of contaminated soilsand waters, construction of hazardouswaste containment systems, analysis ofthe fate and transport of pollutants innatural environments, water conserva-tion and reuse, and surface water qual-ity management.

Career opportunities in the field.University graduates with the B.S.E. inCivil Engineering (environmental engi-neering option) find employment inconsulting firms, municipalities, regu-latory agencies, and industry. Thegrowth of environmental engineeringpositions has been balanced by thegrowing number of students enteringthe field, resulting in a stable job mar-ket. International opportunities aregreat and are likely to expand. Afterearning the undergraduate B.S.E. de-gree in Civil Engineering (environmen-tal engineering option), many studentscontinue their education by enrolling inan environmental engineering graduatedegree program.

Uniqueness of the program at ASU.The environmental engineering optionat ASU is presently one of a few suchprograms in the country. The curricu-lum includes a solid core of engineer-ing fundamentals, in accordance withan ABET-accredited Civil and Environ-mental Engineering degree program, so

Computers have a significant impacton our daily lives, and this impact islikely to be even greater in the future ascomputer professionals continue to de-velop more powerful, smaller, faster,and less expensive computing systems.Computer science and computer engi-neering deal with the study, design, de-velopment, construction, and applica-tion of modern computing machinery.Other important topics include comput-ing techniques and appropriate lan-guages for general information process-ing, for scientific computation, for therecognition, storage, retrieval, and pro-cessing of data of all kinds, and for theautomatic control and simulation ofprocesses.

The curricula offered by the Depart-ment of Computer Science and Engi-neering prepare the student to be a par-ticipant in this rapidly changing area oftechnology by presenting in-depthtreatments of the fundamentals of com-puter science and computer engineer-ing. The department offers two under-graduate degrees: a B.S. degree inComputer Science and a B.S.E. degreein Computer Systems Engineering.

Students who earn a B.S.E. degree inElectrical Engineering will be involvedin a variety of electrical and electronicproblems in the course of their careers.To ensure the necessary breadth ofknowledge, the Electrical Engineeringcurriculum includes basic (core) engi-neering courses and courses in net-works and electronic circuits, electro-magnetic fields and waves, micropro-cessors, communication and controlsystems, solid-state electronics, electri-cal power systems, and other specialtycourses.

ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING—B.S.E.

The goal of the Electrical Engineer-ing undergraduate program is to pre-pare the graduates for entry-level posi-tions as electrical engineers for thebroad range of opportunities availablein industrial, commercial, and govern-mental organizations, and to preparethe graduates for continued learning ex-periences either in a formal graduateprogram or in continuing education ap-plications.

The curriculum in Electrical Engi-neering builds upon the base providedby the engineering core. Beyond theengineering core, the curriculum in-cludes a number of required electricalengineering and technical electivecourses. Approved technical electivecourses serve to provide students withan opportunity either to broaden theirbackground in electrical engineering orto study, in greater depth, technicalsubjects in which they have special in-terests. Successful completion of thecurriculum leaves the student preparedto embark on a career in electrical engi-neering or to pursue advanced educa-tion in graduate school.

The engineering design experience isstructured around three backbonecourses employing engineering teams:ECE 100 Introduction to EngineeringDesign (freshman year), ECE 300 In-termediate Engineering Design (junioryear), and EEE 490 Senior DesignLaboratory. The integrated experienceis strengthened with required courses,EEE 120 Digital Design Fundamentals,EEE 225/226 Assembly Language Pro-gramming and Microprocessors, EEE303 Signals and Systems, and EEE 360Energy Conversion and Transport. Stu-dents focus on design pertaining to spe-

cific electrical engineering areas intheir senior technical electives beforethe culminating, capstone design expe-rience in EEE 490.

DEGREE REQUIREMENTS

A minimum of 128 semester hours isnecessary for the B.S.E. degree in Elec-trical Engineering. A minimum of 50upper-division semester hours is re-quired.


A student must earn a grade of “C”or higher in the mathematics and phys-ics courses listed in the program ofstudy.

The industrial engineer (IE) providesleadership for American organizationsin reestablishing competitiveness in theglobal marketplace through system in-tegration and productivity improve-ment. No challenge can be greater thanimproving productivity, which is theapplication of knowledge and skills toprovide improved goods and services toenhance the quality of life, both on andoff the job. This improvement must beachieved without waste of physical andhuman resources while maintaining theenvironmental balance. Industrial engi-neers are the “productivity people” whoprovide the necessary leadership andskills to integrate technology. Thisgives IEs a wide range of interests andresponsibilities.

As in other engineering fields, indus-trial engineering is concerned withsolving problems through the applica-tion of scientific and practical knowl-edge. What sets industrial engineeringapart from other engineering disciplinesis its broader scope. An IE relates tothe total picture of productivity. An IElooks at the “big picture” of whatmakes society perform best—the rightcombination of human resources, natu-ral resources, synthetic structures, andequipment. An IE bridges the gap be-tween management and operations,dealing with and motivating people aswell as determining what tools shouldbe used and how they should be used.

An IE deals with people as well asthings. In fact, industrial engineering isoften called the “people-oriented pro-fession.” It is a primary function of theIE to integrate people and technology-oriented systems. Therefore, IEs areactive in the fields of ergonomics andhuman factors.

To be competitive in this globaleconomy, it is essential to emphasizeand continually improve the quality ofgoods and services. Industrial engi-neering is the only engineering disci-pline offering course work in designingand implementing quality assurancesystems.

The IE’s skills are applicable to ev-ery kind of organization. IEs learn howto approach, think about, and solve pro-ductivity and integration problems re-gardless of their settings. IEs work inmanufacturing facilities, banks, hospi-tals, government, transportation, con-struction, and social services. Withinthis wide variety of organizations, IEsget involved in projects such as design-ing and implementing quality controlsystems, independent work groups, thework flow in a medical laboratory, real-time production control systems, com-puter-based management informationsystems, and manufacturing operatingsystems, to name a few. A unique fea-ture of most industrial engineering as-signments is that they involve interdis-ciplinary teams. For example, the IEmight be the leader of a team consistingof electrical and mechanical engineers,accountants, computer scientists, andplanners. This IE program gives thestudent the skills necessary to directthese teams. These skills include teambuilding, brainstorming, group dynam-ics, and interpersonal relationships.

IEs have a sound background intechnology integration, managementtheory and application, engineeringeconomics and cost analysis. They arewell equipped to deal with problemsnever seen before, making them primecandidates for promotion through themanagement career path, especially inhigh-tech organizations. In fact, morethan half of all practicing IEs are inmanagement positions. This area ofexpertise has placed the IE in the lead-ership role in the establishment of anew field of activity called “manage-ment of technology.”

Manufacturing EngineeringManufacturing engineering is the

field of engineering that focuses on thedesign, implementation, and optimiza-tion of manufacturing functions and op-erations. Competing in a worldwideenvironment leads to the need for aworld-class manufacturing operation.Integration of all manufacturing enti-ties, whether physical or informational,is a task for the manufacturing engi-neer. Automation decisions, their eco-nomic consequences, and the role of to-tal quality control and management aresome of the functions of the manufac-turing engineer.

Manufacturing engineers are key roleplayers in all manufacturing organiza-tions; for example, electronic, aero-space, and automotive are just threecategories of manufacturing. The abil-ity for any manufacturing operation tocompete just in the United States, letalone worldwide, requires that the man-ufacturing segment of the operation beefficient, cost effective, and produceproducts that are defect free. Themanufacturing engineer is instrumentalin how well the organization will com-pete through determination of the cor-rect manufacturing processes andequipment, the best work flow possible,and efficient total quality control andstatistical process control innovations.Recent reports have shown that theU.S. semiconductor and automotivemanufacturing operations have re-gained their preeminent positions in theworld. The role for the manufacturingengineer can only grow in these two in-dustries as well as in all the other in-dustries that make up this importantsegment of the economy. Salary poten-tial is very competitive with all otherengineering fields.

The following courses are requiredfor the manufacturing engineering op-tion:

The Department of Mechanical andAerospace Engineering is the adminis-trative home for two undergraduate ma-jors: Aerospace Engineering and Me-chanical Engineering.

Both majors build on the broad expo-sure to the engineering, chemical, andphysical sciences and the mathematicsembodied in the General Studies andengineering core courses required of allengineering students.

The Aerospace Engineering majorprovides students an education in tech-nological areas critical to the designand development of aerospace vehiclesand systems. Aerospace Engineeringgraduates are typically employed atgovernment laboratories (e.g., NASA)and in a wide range of aerospace andmechanical industries. The MechanicalEngineering major is perhaps one of themost broadly applicable programs inengineering, providing education for awide variety of employment opportuni-ties.

The two majors, discussed in moredetail below, can serve as entry pointsto immediate professional employmentor to graduate study. The emphasis inall fields is on the development of fun-damental knowledge that will havelong-lasting utility in our rapidlychanging technical society.


DEGREE REQUIREMENTS

All degree programs in the depart-ment require that students attain a mini-mum GPA of 2.00 in the engineeringcore and in the major and take a mini-mum of 50 upper-division semesterhours in order to be eligible for gradua-tion. Also, the department may requireadditional or remedial course work forthose students who have demonstrateda trend toward academic difficulties.


In addition to fulfilling school andmajor requirements, majors must sat-isfy all university graduation require-ments. See pages 79–83.

AEROSPACE ENGINEERING—B.S.E.

The goal of the Aerospace Engineer-ing program is to provide students withan education in technological areascritical to the design and developmentof aerospace vehicles and systems. Theprogram emphasizes aeronautical engi-neering with topics in required coursescovering aerodynamics, aerospace ma-terials, aerospace structures, propul-

sion, flight mechanics, aircraft perfor-mance, and stability and control. As-tronautic topics such as orbital mechan-ics, attitude dynamics, spacecraftcontrol, and rocket propulsion are alsocovered in required courses.

Design is integrated throughout thecurriculum beginning with ECE 100 In-troduction to Engineering Design andfollowed later by ECE 300 Intermedi-ate Engineering Design, both of whichfocus on basic design theory as well asprofessional practice. These requiredcourses are followed by topic-specificdesign content in aerospace engineeringcourses in the junior and senior years.The senior capstone design course inte-grates design and analysis topics fromthe earlier courses and completes therequired design sequence. This se-quence includes a minimum of 20 se-mester hours of required design. In ad-dition, many of the aerospace technicalelectives have design content.

Laboratory experience is provided inthe areas of aerodynamics, aerospacestructures, and vibrations. Laboratoryfacilities include four major wind tun-nels, an integrated mechanical-testinglaboratory, a controls laboratory, and avibrations laboratory.

MECHANICAL ENGINEERING—B.S.E.

Mechanical engineering is a creativediscipline that draws upon a number ofbasic sciences to design the devices,machines, processes, and systems thatinvolve mechanical work and its con-version from and into other forms. Itincludes: the conversion of thermal,chemical, and nuclear energy into me-chanical energy through various en-gines and power plants; the transport ofenergy via devices like heat exchang-ers, pipelines, gears, and linkages; theuse of energy to perform a variety oftasks for the benefit of society, such asin transportation vehicles of all types,manufacturing tools and equipment,and household appliances. Further-more, since all manufactured productsmust be constructed of solid materialsand because most products containparts that transmit forces, mechanicalengineering is involved in the structuralintegrity and materials selection for al-most every product on the market.

Mechanical engineers are employedin virtually every kind of industry.They are involved with seeking newknowledge through research, with do-ing creative design and development,and with the construction, control,management, and sales of the devicesand systems needed by society. There-fore, a major strength of a mechanicalengineering education is the flexibility

it provides in future employment op-portunities for its graduates.

The undergraduate curriculum in-cludes the study of: the principles gov-erning the use of energy; the principlesof design, instruments and control de-vices; and the application of these stud-ies to the creative solution of practical,modern problems.

Design is integrated throughout thecurriculum, beginning with ECE 100Introduction to Engineering Design andfollowed later by ECE 300 Intermedi-ate Engineering Design, both of whichfocus on basic design theory as well asprofessional practice. These requiredcourses are followed by topic specificdesign content in mechanical engineer-ing courses in the junior and senioryears. The senior capstone designcourse combines the design topics fromthe earlier courses and completes therequired design sequence. In addition,many of the mechanical technical elec-tives have design content.

Laboratory experience is provided inthe areas of thermofluid systems, me-chanics of materials, and controls.Laboratory facilities include thermalsystems, and integrated mechanical-testing laboratory, a controls labora-tory, and a manufacturing laboratory.

Premedical Engineering. In the pastdecade, the interrelation between engi-neering and medicine has become vigo-rous and exciting. Our rapidly expand-ing technology dictates that engineeringwill continue to become increasinglyinvolved in all branches of medicine.As this develops, so will the need forphysicians trained in the engineeringsciences—medical men and womenwith a knowledge of computer technol-ogy, transport phenomena, biomechan-ics, bioelectric phenomena, operationsresearch, and cybernetics. This optionis of special interest to students desiringentry into a medical college and whosemedical interests lie in research, aero-space and undersea medicine, artificialorgans, prostheses, biomedical engi-neering, or biophysics. Since both en-gineering and medicine have as theirgoal the well-being of humans, thisprogram is compatible with any field ofmedical endeavor.Academic Requirements. The follow-ing courses are required in the premedi-cal engineering option and have beenselected to meet all university andschool requirements. Note: In order tofulfill medical school admission re-quirements, BIO 182 General Biologyis also required in addition to the de-gree requirements and is best taken insummer session before the MedicalCollege Admission Test (MCAT).

Programs in EngineeringSpecial Studies

Daniel F. JankowskiDirector

The programs leading to the B.S.E.degree in Engineering Special Studiesare administered by the Dean of theCollege of Engineering and AppliedSciences.

PURPOSE

The major of Engineering SpecialStudies accommodates students whoseeducational objectives require more in-tensity of concentration on a particularsubject or more curricular flexibilitywithin an engineering discipline thanthe traditional departmental majorsgenerally permit. The major is aSchool of Engineering program. Un-like the departmental major areas, how-ever, there is not a separate faculty.The faculty teaching and advising inthese programs are from the various de-partments within the School of Engi-neering.

For many students, engineering stud-ies form the basis of preparation forprofessional engineering work whereproficiency in the application of sci-ence and the physical and social tech-nologies is brought to bear on problemsof a large scope. The necessary breadththat these students seek often is not ob-tainable in traditional engineeringfields. Rather, specially designed pro-grams of course work that merge therequired principles and approachesdrawn from all fields of engineeringand other pertinent disciplines are de-sired.

The B.S.E. degree in EngineeringSpecial Studies is designed primarilyfor students intending to pursue engi-neering careers at a professional levelin industry or graduate studies.
